Potentilla erecta (L.) is known for the high concentration of proanthocyanidin oligomers (PAs) in its underground parts. The use of its preparations as food supplements and the lack of chemical-analytical studies concerning with an efficient chromatographic separation procedure for these compounds led us to develop a strategy to profile PAs occurring in this species. Their presence has been rationalised on the basis of mass spectrometric profiles. Direct flow injection/electrospray ionisation (ESI)/ion trap (IT) mass spectrometry was used to investigate the hydroalcoholic extract of P. erecta. To achieve deeper structural information and to focus the analysis on PAs with high polimerisation degree (DP), matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI)-time of flight (TOF)-mass spectrometry, was used. Finally, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS(2)) analyses were executed by using a diol stationary phase to detect PAs from DP1 to DP10. Results suggested that all of them were B-type procyanidins with 4→8 linkages.

As part of the intestinal microbiota, can elicit a humoral response in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) that is mainly directed toward hyphal antigens. This response has been implicated in controlling the invasive form of the fungus and maintaining the yeast as an innocuous commensal. However, the specific targets of this response are still unknown.

The fluorescence detection of amino compounds and the evaluation of their content in environmental samples are vital, not only for assessing food quality but also for studying soil organic matter. Here, we present the synthesis and application of a novel fluorescent probe, 4-(9-acridone)benzylmethyl carbonochloride (APE-Cl), for detecting amino compounds via a chloroformate reaction with fluorescence detection. The complete derivatization reaction of APE-Cl with amino compounds can be accomplished in aqueous acetonitrile within 5 min at room temperature, using 0.

Several studies have reported associations between specific heavy metals and essential trace elements and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there is limited understanding of the relationships between trace elements and AMI in real-life co-exposure scenarios, where multiple elements may interact simultaneously. This cross-sectional study measured serum levels of 56 trace elements using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a global animal pathogen. Traditional identification methods are time-consuming necessitating a more efficient approach. This study validated and enhanced the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique by integration it with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for the detection of S.
